I don’t really know much about the process of remixing a song but I can imagine it is a process that is like editing a video – layering tracks, adding beats, etc. They are clearly not doing that kind of editing live so they are basically playing something that’s already had some amount of that already done.
So what are they doing live besides maybe mixing between songs?
I just don’t understand what all the knob fiddling is about.

Depends. “Like Tiesto” for big arena shows could mean turning knobs on a piece of gear that isn’t even plugged in, in front a prerecorded set.
Or he’s changing volume levels of different frequency bands (bass, mids and highs) of multiple songs while deciding each track on the fly, changing their tempos manually by ear and blending from one to another, all so you hear one cohesive “set”.
It depends on both the person and the type of event how much they are doing and how much they are faking.
